Also this component that OVNI uses is different from usual.

Why did OVNI decided to use "french" design screws on his surfskates?

Image 1 shows a traditional screw with a conical head.

When tightened and requested by the surfskate movement, the pressure received by the trucks is discharged laterally, transforming the screw head into a wedge.

This action ends up forcing the edges of the shape's holes, wearing them prematurely, and requiring continuous tightening as the screw penetrates into the deck.

In image 2 a screw used by OVNI is shown.

When tightened and requested by the movement of the surfskate, the pressure received by the trucks is discharged on the plane of the deck, allowing a firmer and lasting grip of the trucks, in addition to preserving the shape for longer.

This is also important to preserve the OVNI decks, which have a bamboo structure, as despite being light, resistant and elastic, they are also more malleable.

This type of screw also facilitates the assembly/disassembly of the surfskate, as only one tightening wrench is needed to tighten the nut.

Finally, its durability is much longer than common screws: common screws need a small allen wrench to tighten the nuts, which quickly destroy the head hole, rendering the screws useless after a short time.
